Before I begin writing this, you should know that images below are nudes. So if you’re at work maybe just save it for later or when you can read and look with out interruption or sudden suspension of employment.
For a long time I’ve been looking at sites like Me in my place. Great photos of some pretty amazing women. However the big difference between that and some of the other glam photos out there is a lack of touch up. The Photo touch up pro ads that you see all over the internet are a bit disturbing to me. We already have a pretty distorted view of reality when it comes to self image.
I like the idea of photo shoot I might do with my wife after making love, using whatever camera I had lying around and whatever light just happen to be coming into the room. There’s something so intrinsically playful and naturally beautiful. This is how boudiour photos started this way, as far I as know; with couples taking dirty photos of each other.
That used to happen to me a lot actually – but you’ll never see those photos. No, there are just for me and that other person in the room. Secrets that I will share with no one.
These are about capturing that very intimate and personal moment. The one that we all fantasize about, where the sex was good and the moments after were even better. This is the root of a really deep connection to another human being. How difficult is it to get that on camera with out having the images seem to contrived, or conceded. We’re constantly inundated with stranger than fiction ideas of beauty. That kind of imagery, while totally fun to look at lacks a lot of soul. It lacks the free wheeling creativity that comes when you can totally trust yourself enough to take nude photos.
For this shoot I used my Mamiya 645M Pro with a 150mm f/2.8 C series Mamiya lens, Illford HP5+ 400 shot at 1600 ISO. XTOL Stock solution to develop.
